army think So"
June 8, Gen. Robert Edmund Lee was ap-
pointed to the command Of the Confederate
army in Virginia. Thenceforward till the
end that illustrious name stood at the head Of
Hs roll of generals It's defeats were his, its
successes his successes. At the time the war
broke out, Robert E. Leo was an officer Of
thirty-six yearsstAnding in the United States
army. He was IS years old. His father was
sIight Horse Harry Lee" of the revolution,
the officer who originated tho fine phrase
about Washington, 9First in war, first In
peace and first in the hearts Of his country
men" ......
Robms e. Leo was opposed to secession, but
he felt bound to the state Of Virginia. There
fore, June IS, 1851, the day after the Virginia
cgsifnance Of secession was passed, he went to
Cen. Scott and resigned bis place In the
sryny. He said OF his resignation: ut would
have been presented at once but for the strug-
gle It has cost me to separate myself from
service to which have devoted all the best
years Of my life and all ths ability pos
sessed."
Some Of McClellan's ablest officers were Of
opinion that he could have pushed on imme-
diatey after the battle Of Fair Oaks and have
taken Richmond without much difficulty.
Tho way was open there. But he did not
think SO. he simply crawled ahead little
further, and intrenched.
Meantime Gen. Leo began fortfying around
Richmond with all the resources at his COM
mand. In few days, almost as If by magic,
there appeared ON every commanding spot
about the Confederate capital frowning de-
fenses and cannon and guards. After that it
was too late to take Richmond without great
loss.
On June l., 1852, Mcclellan had with him
81, 500 fighting men-fve corps. Leo had sO.-
762. Lees men were in divisions under Gems.

sylvanians, that had been detached from Nc

caught the cart and tilted it, and the light
ming needles began to play more dreadfully
than ever. The storm was breaking upon
them.
aCome, get on, get on" he shouted, "you
will be killed here; the lightning always
strikes along the water" and as he said it he
struck one of the wheelers sharply with his
whip.
"Climb over the back of the seat, Mouti,
and stand by to help me with the reir6" sung
out John to The Zulu, who obeyed, getting be-
tween him and jess.
"Now, jess, hang on, and say your prayers,
for it strikes me we shall have need Of them.
So, horses, SOL"
The horses backed and plunged, but Muller
on the one side and the smooth faced Boer on
the other lashed them without mercy, and at
last they went into the river with rush.
The gust had passed now, and for moment
or two there was renewed silence, except for
the whirl of the water and the snakeiike hiss
of the coming rain.
For few yards, ten or fifteen perhaps, all
went we'll, and then John suddenly discovered
that they were getting into deep water; the
two leaders were evidently almost off their
legs, and could scarcely stand against the cur
rent Of the flooded river.
aDamn you!" he shouted back, "there is no
drift here"
"Go on, go on, it is all right" came Mul-
ler's voice in answer.
John said no more, but, putting out all his
strength, tried to get his horses round. jess
turned herself on the seat to look, and just
then came blaze of lightning which revealed
Muller and his two companions standing dis
mounted on the bank, the muzzles of their
rifles pointing straight at the cart.
"Oh, God!" sho screamed, "they are going
to shoot U.s."
Even as the words passed her lips three
tongues Of fame fiared out from the rifles
mouths and tho Zulu, Mouti, sitting by her
side, pitched heavily forward on to his head
into the bottom Of the cart, while one OF the
wheelers reared straight up into the air With

The Nrapolitan Mandolin.

Just as the pet dog has been ignOmin-
ously banished from the drawing room rug
and a cat substituted in his place, so have
bauios and zithers been consigned TO out
Of.thc-way cupbOards while the woman Of
fashion occupies herself with the latest
craze in the musical linc-the McapOlitin
mandolin. \ few years ago this quaint
little instrument was unknown here save
bv hcarsay, but now the music shop that
does not have several of them in its win
dows, appropriately bedcckrd with gay
ribbons, is decidedly behind the aye. New
Workers are never slow To seize upon u
novelty, no matter what particular form
il may take, OF course, however, there
are novelties and novelties. The mandolin
belongs tn the category that one may effect
with credit to ones self. Women Use
the word ad~visedly, as the number of men
vino learn the instrument Is prOp1rti1nately
smalI-wOmcn therefore, who have mas
tered the mandolin sufficiently 10 play
even though much he left tn the magma
ton in this respect, certainly present TO
the observer a more or less picturesque APP
nearance. Perhaps this is II OF the chief
reasons for the enormous popularity the
mandolin has of rate attained. 1t was first
introduced to us by the Spanish students,
and since then their talented conductor
has successfully attempted 10 make the in
strument familiar Ia New York society.
The mandolin is difficult to learn, its
construction being the same ~ that 0f the
violin. The silver strings are struck by
means OF a small piece of tortoise shell
held in the right hand, and the sound thus
evoked is peculiarly sweet and thrilling.
Queen Margherita, of Italy, is an accom-
plished performer IN the mandolin.

How to Utilize ODD Pieces Of silk.

Ever since the craze for silk patchwork
quilts subsidized to n certain extent, people
have been wishing for sOme new device to
make use of the bits of silk that are con
.stantly accumulating in 4 household. At
last it has been found they may be made
into a beautiful p%Ortiere. The great adj
vantage is that while for patchwork every
piece must he fresh in appearance, in ma
king a portiere every little old bit of silk,
no matter how sOiled, ma be used. Cut
the pieces of silk in strips half an inch
wide and 4w0 inches long. Sew them
strongly together by tapping them. Just
take the pieces up hap-hazard as they hap
pen 10 cOme. 1t requires about five pounds
to make enough for a curtain three yards
long and q yard and a half wide. AfreT
the strips are sewed together take them 10
q weaver and have them woven in a Hat
manner. Some have them knitted, but it
is not aS pretty rs the fiat weaving. Here
in New York these can be woven for 81 per
curtain. II adds much to the appearance
of the curtain To place q border Of plush
top and bottom fOr dadO and frieze. One
who mss not seen what beautiful curtains
these strips make can form no idea o.
how rich they look, resembling SOHO East
India fabric.
Speaking of pOrtiereS, it is now the fash
on TO utilize old family shalls in this wav.
!0dd Grape or India shawls make lovely
curtains. 1t is an advantageous way nf
displaying these heirlOoms, and il is all
the prettier not 10 have any two alike.
For instance, not long ago ] called on n
certain lady noted for her excellent taste
in household decorations. At the door
hung a white Grape shawl embroidered
with roses. At another an India shawl of
e~xuisite workmanship hung. while at still
another was a black Grape shawl covered
with white silk embroidery.
1t is no longer in good taste to have a
regularly made mantle lambrequin; they
are too set and stiff in appearance. The
prettiest is a bit of sbme art fabric. pur-
chased Of our best upholsterera.
An old Grape shawl, carelessly thrown
upon the m~antlepiece, is very pretty. 4
Japanese robe of bright colors is very pretty
on a mantle, so arranged that the shelves
OF the mantle, hang over at each end Of
the robe, which was 81 draped as to display
the bright silk lining. The appearance Of
stiffness is avoided in ever style OF decOra-
tive drapery, which oftentimes shows the
taste, individuality and skill OF the lady
whose belongings they are.
